Do you use a project management system at work?

Question

I have used a few and I am pretty much reliant on them now. Not sure how I would get all my tasks done in a day without it. It’s also a great way to track collaboration on a project. For the record, ^that second software shown was fairly good, aside from providing the ability for management to track your every second and confront you about it. I appreciate that the first software doesn’t seem to have that feature and I really appreciate that my current manager does not micromanage nor confront. She is the best.

To keep track of jobs/orders I use Microsoft To Do (free). It integrates with desktop Outlook if desired and syncs with its iPhone app. In addition I use Outlook's calendar plus add categories and reminders to emails.

I have multiple lists in Microsoft To Do, including groceries (for several different stores, plus urgent), gifts, etc. You can also share some or all lists with others.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

No, because I've never been involved with project management. I've heard of these programs, and a good friend of mine was a big project manager with a big company and used one of those programs extensively. I didn't know some of them tracked your every second! LOL...

We're trying to get going on one. We're currently trying out Trello. Our rental management system does have a few project management features, but it's not really designed for project management, and staffing in particular is horrible in it.

I use bug tracker and task manager and they do include project management, but that isn't really that useful because my days are controlled more by priority and urgency and the plans they put in place never holds up. Mostly because they make them independent of each other. And if I am part of 10 project, most project will not really move forward every day.

As a member of the technical team, I don't, but each project we're on has a dedicated project scheduler (PS) and they use PM software. Since our projects interface directly with customers, we usually use whatever the customer uses... Primavera is most common. Our technical team usually uses MS-Project for more detailed schedules that the PS sanitizes and simplifies into the project schedule that the customer sees.

I have used Microsoft Project before when I was in grad school. Then I used it when I did a 3 million dollar project where I ended up working.  I used something called Footprints at another job.

Amazing question.
I tried Notion for my study, but could not get hang of it. Now I only use to-do list. Works for me. I use the Microsoft one.
🤣🤣🤣
I will be following this question to read real reviews on different management software!

DonkeyDan · Answer

It's actually a work flow system but it's purpose is to track our studies, so yes basically the same as a project management system. It's actually very good and is custom built for us, so it fits our line of work and how we work perfectly.

krin_m · Answer

Thankfully I'm not a manager anymore but for years when I managed teams, I used various tools from Microsoft Project to Jira to Kan-ban boards and sometimes even excel spreadsheets in early days.

Thank goodness, I'm free as a bird now and do what I want instead of babysitting childish adults.

I don't use a project management system at work. But I do use a Virtual machine, so everything I do is logged and tracked.

Wiredone · Answer

I just make a punch list on jobs that I'll be on for a while. Lately I'm at a different job every day

Soleil8000 · Answer

No. I manage that stuff in my head.

On a more important note - what if all of the 3rd world overpopulation, or most of it, comes from transgedered children of prostitutes?
Just imagine. And ask yourself what prostitutes do and sell after they turn 30.
